Life of a Fit Foodie

Wait just one minute I have to snap a picture of my meal...

Sunday Dinner, yes there was wine

Ok thanks, got it!  Doesn't that look so yummy?!  So I'll admit it, I take selfies of my food... I'm sure I look weird and I know my family thinks it's bizarre but oh well!  I like seeing what other people eat and I hope they find what I'm eating interesting too!  I try not to bombard my regular Facebook with to many pics I mostly focus it on my Living Lighter page and most of all on Instagram! (I know you want to check me out on IG now @coachmichlg) Oh it's like a whole community over there you guys like wow.  Some people call it Food Porn but I like to call myself a Fit Foodie as I like to post about my healthy eating lifestyle.

So what are some things I've learned about taking pictures of my food you may ask... well I can't be totally boring with the food I eat or I'd have no pictures to take at all lol.  Also I try to go for things that I think look good... close ups a plenty.  Also I'm still mastering my kitchen / cooking skills so when I do a good job you know I am so totally going to toot my own horn by sharing it!  And really what better way to share then with a picture of my culinary perfection.  Ok well probably not perfection I'm no master chef.

Being a Fit Foodie also keeps me accountable.  I mean I'm posting Fit food not junk food, so I need to be eating healthy food in order to have the content available to be able to post about it.  Sometimes I post because I'm excited to share a new product I've found or I'm having something I really enjoy, like Starbucks :) Ya know because for this lactose intolerant chick it's amazing to go there and have an incredibly tasty latte and k ow that it will be dairy free.

So something's you need to know when we go out for dinner or just about anywhere with a Fit Foodie...  If we are in the grocery store in a "big" city I'm going to be hitting that natural food section hard.  It can be full of different products to try and discover.  Like just the other day I found my seasonal Cliff bars and it made me so excited I beelined it for the display. (I'll post a pic below 😉)  If we are in a mall and there's a health food store I will slow down and window shop to see if I spy anything interesting.  Lastly going for dinner... Yeah so if I order something and it looks so damn good I will be taking a picture before I eat it. I will try to wait to post it later but sometimes I just get carried away. Yes I've gone to eat my food and it's gone slightly cold but still just as tasty.  I mean you gotta get just the right angle to make that tastiness appear in the picture! And if I'm at home there is just no question that Fit Foodie pics are going to happen.

So my advice if you are thinking of becoming a Fit Foodie... Just go for it!  Be creative and try different angles or maybe you want to make a theme and only post about something specific like smoothies or Kale.  I mean you might get some weird looks and questioning glances but seriously us other Fit Foodie's out there totally get it. Be You 100%. of the Time!
